But George Michael is worried. His painstakingly laid plans for the future are centred around a solo career writing songs of a far more personal nature than the rhyming gibberish that comprises 80 per cent of the Wham! canon and he firmly believes that he may be increasingly hard pressed to prevent himself becoming a prisoner, a much pawed piece of meat owned by a faceless, insatiable public.
“My one real regret with Wham! is the huge public fascination with the pair of us. I know I wanted it and worked for it, but now… Yet the material I’ve yet to write, the songs I’ve got in my head, are likely to cause more of that fascination than ever.”
